| morphological diversity of the labial sensilla of phytophagous and predatory pentatomidae (hemiptera: heteroptera), with reference to their possible functions. | sensory structure on the labial surface of five genera of pentatomidae (hemiptera: heteroptera) belonging to two subfamilies i.e. asopinae and pentatominae have been studied using scanning electron microscopy. three representatives of the subfamily pentatominae (phytophagous)-dolycoris indicus (stal), plautia crossota (dallas) and piezodorus hybneri (gmelin) and two of asopinae (predatory)-perillus bioculatus (fabricius) and eocanthecona furcellata (wolff) were studied to morphologically charact ... | 2015 | 26624484 |
| oosorption in the stink bug, plautia crossota stali: induction and vitellogenin dynamics. | oosorption, resorption of developing oocytes in the ovary, in p. c. stali is characterized by changes in appearance of oocytes from opaque greyish green or orange to transparent, degeneration of yolk granules and disappearance of oocyte contents. starvation and virginity were indicated to be factors that induce oosorption. sds page/western blotting analysis using anti-vitellogenin antiserum detected two major and many minor bands in haemolymph samples. egg extracts showed a more complicated set ... | 2003 | 12770003 |
| seasonal parasitism and host specificity of trissolcus japonicus in northern china. | the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål), native to china, japan, and korea, has emerged as a harmful invasive pest of a variety of crops in north america and europe. the asian egg parasitoid trissolcus japonicus has been identified as the most promising agent for classical biological control of invasive h. halys populations. a 4-year study evaluated the fundamental and ecological host ranges of t. japonicus as well as its phenology and impact on h. halys populations in fruit orc ... | 2017 | 28824354 |
